    Hood pulling away from supports

    Do you mean the inner structure has separated from the outer skin on your hood? If so, I had the same issue with my hood, I used urethane to re-glue the skin to the inner structure. It worked great.

    Classic Body conundrum

    Getting a good guy to complete your project is not easy. There are allot of guys that will take your money and deliver very little. I think Pascamp is absolutely correct. I suggest you ask who ever you get to do the work to show you some of the projects they have done. Usually all the good guys...

    Classic Body conundrum

    I might know of a guy here in Calgary. He does nice work but he is not cheap. You are probably looking at around $20,000 minimum, The paint alone will run anywhere between 5 to 10K unless you just want a single stage paint. If you are interested let me know and I will put you in touch with him.

    Removing Paint w/a/ Sander

    You will get the best results using an aircraft stripper first at least on the roof, hood and trunk lid. This will remove and minimise the amount of product you will need to remove with 80 grit sand paper using a variable speed 8" sander. The reason I say this is because it will also minimise...

    1970 Duster roof replacement

    The roof skin is the same but if you are putting on the entire roof I believe the only difference was in 70 & 71 had the cloth headliner and 72 up was cardboard so the 72 and up did not have the side holes for the headliner bows and may not have the teeth front and rear to pull the headliner...

    Re-finish dash bezel

    I am hoping someone might know where I can get my dash, heater and radio bezels re-finished. I have tried to refinish the chrome myself but did not come out the way I would like. If anyone can tell me where I can get this done, I would appreciate it.

    A quick question about POR15 and drip rail.

    POR 15 is great stuff but there is a better and cheaper way. If the caulking is coming off you will want to replace it all. There is a pinch weld there and caulking is a must. You will need to take out all the old caulking. Once you do this, mask off the driprail molding and also run some tape...

    Cleaning out cowl prior to paint

    When I was working on the car I masked off the cowl to keep dust and dirt out but no matter how hard you try, dust finds its way in. So, here is what I did when I was ready to paint as I had the same problem. I added a long flexable tube or hose to my blow gun (about 1 foot) to get down into the...

    Cutting holes in my hood

    Has anyone had experience with both? I don't mind paying the extra if the $30 set has a better fit, but if they are both the same, 95 cents works

    Hood Scoops

    I put a set of scoops on my Duster and I have noticed that the inner structure of the hood has pulled away from the sheet metal. No damage to the hood, I would just have to re-glue it to the inner structure. I am not sure if anyone has ran into this, but I was thinking i would cut holes under...

    $4,000.00 paint job

    $4000 for what you have decribed is in a word "cheap" Makes me ask what is the quality of work they do? Quality materials for a complete paint job will run you $1500 at a minimum. I would estimate, for a quality job, it to take 75 to 100 hours for all the work you have decribed. Even a good back...

    Proper grey color in grille and tail lights

    I am hoping someone can tell what the proper color is to refinish my sharktooth grill and the tail lights. I can't seem to find the right color and I am getting tired (and broke lol) of buying spray cans that don't match, or maybe I am just too pickey. Anyway, I am sure there must be color that...

    Painting Problem Questions

    It does not sound like you are doing a wet on wet, in other words you are not going to top coat the epoxy the same day. This means you will have to sand it at some point in the future before you spray on primer/sealer. Having a little orange peal in the primer is not that critical because as I...

    Hanging 1/4's question

    When you are putting on any panel it is important that you put you stands under the suspension on all 4 corners. (rear axel & front control arms) Do not put them under the frame. You body will flex and it will change when you put it back on wheels, so this is very important.

    Hood Adjustment

    Have you tryed to adjust the where the hindges bolt to the inner apron. If you losen the bolt closest to the cowl and push up on the hood it should lower the hood at the cowl. After you do this, you will have to move the hood ahead where the hood bolts to the hindges because the hood will be too...

    Bonding Fiberglass scoop to a steel hood

    I would only use body filler to do the finish work once the scoop has been properly bonded to the hood. I would recomend the fusor just make sure you get the correct one as they make different types for different applications. just follow the directions on the data sheet.
